Was it 2 hours due to traffic? It's not that far up the 5 from downtown. It should take about 15 minutes or so to get from La Jolla to downtown SD. Sorry if I'm being annoying - having lived in SD for a few years, I'm just curious.
The girl's not playing with a full deck, Giles. She has almost no deck. She has a three.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Oh, don't worry about it. I only heard about it third-hand, but the traffic was BEYOND beyond insane that weekend -- same reason Kevin Smith showed up 6 hours late and missed his Q&A. (They did let him go on after Spidey 3, but I don't know if they announced it to anyone who wasn't already in Hall H at that point.)

Holy shit. That is terrible. I'm so glad that GF and I take the hit and stay close by. We were at the Marriot (not the one next to the con, but one in the Gaslamp about 2 blocks away). We usually stay in the Hilton across the street but we were too late getting a room there. Where did you guys stay?

We were at the Marriot in Mission Valley. Everywhere closer was sold out of the Con-rate rooms within a few hours. (And is it just me, or does SD have roughly twelve bajillion Marriots? They were like Starbucks!)

Yeah, there are like a million Marriots. And you're right about the rooms selling out quickly. Lucky for me GF keeps on top of this and is calling within minutes of the rooms opening up. What was your best item from the con (promo or otherwise)? For us, it was a Love and Rockets page purchased from Gilbert Hernandez for $200!! Score!

I didn't buy very much, actually -- a couple of t-shirts and some Nighmare Before Christmas figurines. (All on sunday, which made them nice and cheap!) The Pan's Labyrinth poster was probably the best swag. That movie looks amazing.

Sanford And Son
t late to the party
Good lord! They Americanized Stepford and Son?
Good LORD!!!
Sounds like the SciFic party was fun, Jessica. I am made of envy of all of you folks who made it to Comiccon.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
How many people have the Sanford and Son theme song running through their heads now?
As performed by J.D. and Turk?

Sanford and Son was a classic series! "Fred Sanford. 'S-A-N-F-O-R-D-period.'" IIRC, it was the first one to feature a majority black cast.
ETA: Fay, wasn't it "Steptoe and Son"?
